Hi Guy's
First up let me congratulate everyone here on an excellent forum. The posts here are full of information for new and seasoned investors and the willingness of people to get involved is admirable.
I'm at the stage where I need to get started on investing for a better retirement before it's too late. I have a chunk of equity in my PPOR and a moderate income with minimal debt. Having read several books (Sommersoft, Lomas and others) and seen the success of a few around me I'd liked to build a solid foundation with IP's to start with.
Having read many posts on here already and being in danger of information overload I can see a path through the haze and am starting to form a loose strategy, based on accumulating median houses for capital growth. Possibly starting in inner city Brisbane until serviceability becomes an issue. But I still have a way to go.
A lot of info has already been posted which is a big help however I hope you don't mind me posting a few dumb questions to help clear things up.
Sorry for the long first post.
Cheers
Darren
